The grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) was used by CCRC to work with a fundraising firm, helping develop a fundraising strategy and plan to create new, sustainable sources of revenue.

Funding from the grant supported the hiring of a fundraising consultant, staff resources and the purchase of a subscription for a grant database.

"Today's announcement of $104,200 has helped the Community Counselling and Resource Centre to recover from the pandemic,” MPP Dave Smith said. "By focusing on new ideas to build for the future, they are able to continue focusing on the important work they do best, helping to support residents in the community.”

People from all areas of Peterborough City and County and now Northumberland rely on CCRC to provide them with low or no cost counselling and/or services through the Housing Resource Centre.

"We are so fortunate to have received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation" said Kirsten Armbrust, executive director of CCRC. "This grant has allowed us to work with a consultant to strengthen our fundraising program. We are committed to the sustainability of our organization and fundraising is an integral part of that process."
